Can anyone help??
I'm looking for a 100BHP SWB Trafic/Vivaro/Primastar(preferably new or very low mileage) as a replacement Border Collie carrier-I'm finally at my wits end with my LDV(gutless)Cub.
Now the downside is I don't have a business and I'm not VAT registered.This makes car salesman look at you funny when you tell them you want to buy a commercial vehicle.
Does anyone know what the best/cheapest way for me to purchase this van???
I was told that I could buy it through a friend's business and so avoid paying VAT(as they can claim it back), as long as it's registered with my friends business for one day.
Does anyone know if this is true???

From Autoexpress:
"Don't bother polishing your car - it wastes fuel! Scientists have discovered that rough surfaces can be more aerodynamic than shiny ones by helping vehicles slip through the air more efficiently. If the bumps are the size and shape of tiny cylinders, they keep the air flowing around the car. "This goes against conventional thinking," said Swedish researcher Jens Fransson."

People use to (and I believe still do) wet and dry the hulls of racing sailing dinghy's, reason being is that the water droplets fill the rough surface and the others just slip past, where as they stick to a smooth surface so causing a rough finish - never quite sure if it really made that much difference but it made a good looking boat look like carp!!! I assume this is the same type of principle.
Ford Mondeo, 2000, TDCI 130, Year 2002
Came into work this morning with my glow plug light flashing and a loss of power like the turbo was not working.
I have read some backroom reports to say that this could be the fuel pump and injectors but the postings are back in 2003. Has anyone had any recent dealings with this? My car has done 76k which I have had from new.
Here's hoping for some help! Read more
To conclude the thread, Screwloose was correct!
Ford Main dealer reprogrammed the PCM and ICU then re-installed the Injector/Calibration Valves.
It took them about 1.5 hrs and the cost was £119.
Car now running OK, no explanation from Ford as to why!
Hi,
I have been looking at one today quickly at the dealers and was really impressed with what I saw. Its a lot bigger both inside and out, and I was thinking about a 1.5 Diesel (Approx £12k) or 1.4 petrol SE model for approx £11k.
Has anyone got comments on the Note, and would it be £12k of your money? How quickly do you expect before prices are discounted?
I was looking at replacing my Peugeot 206 Sw 1.4 and have a budget of £11k and have been looking at Mazda 1.6, Focus, or Astra.

Hi,
I cannot sit in the Jazz due to the stupid shelves next to the pedals along side the steering column. Long Legs and big feet, and maybe a salesman that didnot know the Jazz meant I couldnot get in.
Was looking at a new Jazz last year, but opted for a nearly new 206 instead.
I am going to hang on until April or May and hopefully will get a decent discount by then. Otherwise will look at something else.
Regards
Barry
Does anyone know if there is much of a difference between the various paint sealers? A-Glaze, SuperGuard, Diamond Sheild etc?
Price wise A-Glaze and SuperGuard seem around the same price if done at a dealer, around £300 for inside and out. Diamond seems a bit cheaper. Do they work? Certainly A-Glaze comes with a 3-year guarantee and in theory at least you don't need to polish for 3 years or so. I would pay £3K for that alone. Read more
See current thread 'the research I've been waiting for'
A tale of two diesels..For the same money: a new citroen C4 2.0Hdi, or a six month old, 7K miles on the clock, Nissan Primera 2.2Td. Wanted for upcoming spate of long motorway journeys, specific requirements comfort, reasonable frugality, few toys, bit of fun. Which??
PS Does the very soft accelerator on the C4 get tiring after a while? On the test drive I felt I had to keep my foot slightly elevated to avoid surging ahead - it offered no support.Dealer said no-one else has ever complained - do you get used to it or have I got odd legs?! Read more
Hi DD,
Great moderating. And extremely quick, might I add. I should have known better, shouldn't I?
Thanks for changing it.

My nominations, in no particuler order are:-
The men dressed up as women who advertise some kitchen roll
The silly girl who jumps in a puddle with her gut full of some bacteria from a yoghurt
The fat boys who can't act and advertise the Zafira
The grisly puppets with silly accents who advertise Dolmio sauces
Anything to do with debt restructuring/consolidation
Open to further suggestions - bring them on! Read more
The Audi ad is vile. As a confirmed arachnophobe, I am severely tempted to sue Audi for the nightmares I suffer every time I've seen it. But then again, I've now ensured that I will never ever buy an Audi.....
Love the Vauxhall kids but I'd never buy a Meriva/Zafira thing anyway.
As for those Men & Motors ads, just how old are they? Mobile phones the size of bricks, those girls must be claiming their pensions by now!
How do I make sure I dont get my fingers burnt buying online?
I am considering buying a C4 from 'newcitroendeals.co.uk', a branch of lowpricecars.co.uk - as with many of these sites it seems very hard to tell if one is simply handing over money to a happy bloke in his back room never to see it again, or actually buying a car at a good price. Has anyone else bought a car through this site or had a good or bad expeience of it? The price quoted is very keen, and the website is very convincing...
Is it true that if I pay the deposit by credit card I have some kind of consumer 'protection'? Read more
Hi - it's Mike here from Low Price Cars, just thought I should reply to this thread - better late than never....

Do you think the Sportive is worth the extra £1000+???
Also, has anyone any experience of how a " Superchipped" Trafic/Vivaro/Primastar performs???
